useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure |
